CAUTION: API Spec 17D requires flange connection bolt tightness (tension stress in the bolt)
equal to 67% to 70% of the specified minimum yield strength of L7/B7 bolts. Operators should
limit these higher tensions to only subsea flange connections that use BX or SBX ring gaskets
and have designs that will allow face to face make-up. When using some lubricants and/or anti-
corrosion coatings on bolts, tightening bolts consistent with the torque table shown above may
in fact produce tension closer to the actual yield strength of the bolts. Operators should use an
alternate method to measure tension in the bolts to confirm the applicability of this table.

For bolt tightening sequence for API flanges, see individual flange pages in the Bolt Tightening
Sequence index on the www.woodcousa.com web site.
Flanges with "R" ring grooves can connect and seal with either R or RX ring gaskets. RX gaskets
increase the stand-off between flanges, and studs shown on this chart have sufficient length to
accommodate RX gaskets in these connections. In some cases equipment design may restrict
clearance and shorter studs will increase convenience. For information on these shorter stud
lengths, see AWHEM document TR9501 at www.awhem.org/docs.htm . To compare the
difference in stand-off see http://www.woodcousa.com/standoff.htm#Select
Caution: The difference in stand-off between R and RX gaskets can cause alignment problems on
close coupled manifolding or pressure controlling loops. Assembly designers specify component
dimensions which allow for the difference in stand-off between flanges when choosing either R or
RX gaskets. When operators perform maintenance that involves disassembly, trouble free
reassembly requires using gaskets the same as the gaskets originally chosen.
Ring gaskets marked SRX or SBX have identical measurements to RX and BX ring gaskets with
the the same number designation, and they will fit the same corresponding connectors. API Spec
17D intends SBX gaskets to seal all 17D SS and SV flanges and all 6BX flanges used for subsea
applications. API Spec 17D intends SRX gaskets to seal only 5000 psi segmented flanges, not
listed above. The "S" indicates these gaskets have vent holes to allow reliable connector make-up
underwater (subsea). API Spec 17D requires that manufacturers use only corrosion resistant alloy
as the material for these gaskets.

and Inspection Before Assembly.
